Refer the Tomcat FAQ.

Are you sure it's Eclipse 6.0? The latest Eclipse version that I'm aware of is Eclipse 3.5.1.


P.S.: Moderators, I think this question belongs to the Tomcat forum and should be moved there.

To change the port, edit the server.xml file in /conf

for example:

you will see

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
               connectionTimeout="20000" 
               redirectPort="8443" />

to change it to port 8090:

   <Connector port="8090" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
               connectionTimeout="20000" 
               redirectPort="8443" />

And if you do that, and have the server plugin installed in Eclipse - then you MUST keep your hands away from the server plugin configuration
